No, there circulated a performance list a while ago. Python was in the lower third while Ruby was bottom.
Which benchmark are you talking about? The most common I know of is the computer language benchmarks game, here's a nice implementation of it.. You can see ruby is actually a decent bit faster.
It's an annoyingly persistent myth that ruby is significantly slower than python.
